Amazon

I believe working for Amazon has made me a better engineer.

There is a lot of wisdom in decision-making processes and business practices guided by the company's leadership principles, which are actually used on a daily basis and not just a poster on the wall.

The focus on operations and customer value is something I had not experienced in past roles.

I can see myself retiring at Amazon, but even if I leave, I think my experience here would help me significantly in thriving elsewhere.

Frugality is one of the leadership principles, so some folks could be disappointed by the lack of some perks offered by other leading companies, e.g., good catering, business class travel, or conference attendance.

Keep it up, but don't forget to leave time to taste the coffee.
